Does “Trump = King David” as Christian Nationalists claim?

  Does “Trump = King David” as Christian Nationalists claim?       Years ago, former Texas Governor Rick Perry told Fox News that Trump is “God’s chosen One,” and offered an apologetic for Trump’s litany of sins: “God’s used imperfect people all through history… [for example,] King David wasn’t perfect….” [1]  Jerry Falwell, Jr., made the same comparison during Trump’s first campaign. More recently, in January 2024, former Trump Cabinet Member, Dr. Ben Carson, again equated Trump to King David. [2]  And this month,  Politico  reported on the fact that key Trump associates are milking “Christian Nationalists” for votes; Christian Nationalists are hoping to use a Trump second-term to build a Fundamentalist Theocratic government. [3]  Is this a reasonable equivalency and claim, that  Trump and David  are two morally-flawed leaders but nevertheless God’s Chosen Ones?     For decades, I served churches in the Deep South as a pastor, and I know a thing or two about Christians, Conservatives.
